Most meetings feel like a blur - especially if you're juggling multiple ones every day. But over time, patterns begin to form: who contributes consistently, who stays silent, and who may be quietly burning out. While one meeting doesn't define a person, a series of meetings can start to tell a story.

That’s where User-Level Metrics in Ulla® HR Engagement come in.

As part of the Ulla® HR suite, this view focuses on the individual: their speaking patterns, consistency of participation, and engagement trends across multiple meetings. It’s not about judging performance - it’s about helping teams grow through data-backed self-awareness.

What are user-level metrics?

User-level metrics provide a consolidated view of how each employee communicates across meetings. Unlike meeting-level insights (focused on a single session) or organisational metrics (company-wide trends), this layer captures individual contribution and engagement over time — across all Ulla-tracked sessions.

You can see, for example:

  • Average time spent in meetings per day
  • Speech duration trends
  • Patterns of participation across weeks or months
  • Personality-aligned engagement markers like tone, clarity, collaboration, and response to feedback

These insights help teams understand how people show up - not just how often.

What’s included in user-level analytics?

The User-Level Metrics view in Ulla® HR Engagement consists of two key sections:

  1. Analytics Overview
  2. Meeting History & Engagement

1. Analytics Overview

This is where the high-level patterns emerge. For each employee, you can see:

  • Average calendar meeting time
  • Actual time spent in Ulla-tracked meetings
  • Total speech duration
  • Visual comparisons between scheduled and real engagement
  • Speech consistency over time

It helps you spot potential overload, underutilisation, or even just fluctuations in communication habits.

2. Meeting History & Engagement

Here, you can explore how someone participated in each specific meeting - what meetings they attended, how long they spoke, and what their personal engagement markers were during that time.

This includes indicators like:

  • Emotional tone
  • Helpfulness & collaboration
  • Speech clarity & positivity
  • Reactivity to feedback
  • Tone of communication

These dimensions are aligned with frameworks like MBTI and Big Five, giving HR teams an evidence-based view of communication styles - always with privacy and consent in mind.

Why it matters

User-level metrics don’t label or score employees - they offer context. And context drives better conversations: between managers and team members, across departments, or even within self-reflection.

It’s especially helpful when:

  • You want to coach team leads on their meeting style
  • You’re tracking early signs of burnout
  • You’re designing training or L&D initiatives based on real needs
  • You want to bring more balance to your internal meetings

Combined with meeting-level and organisational views, user-level metrics complete the picture - so you’re not guessing who’s engaged, overloaded, or ready for more responsibility. You’re building culture through insight.

Because when teams understand themselves, they work better together.
